“…There is robust evidence that BPA exposure can disrupt hippocampal neural circuitry (Bowman et al, 2014; Elsworth et al, 2013; Hajszan and Leranth, 2010; Kim et al, 2011; Leranth et al, 2008a; Leranth et al, 2008b; Tiwari et al, 2014; Xu et al, 2013; Xu et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2014). Conversely, the differential behavioral effects of BPA might be due to effects on other brain regions, such as the prefrontal, orbitofrontal, retrosplenial cortex, medial septum, ventral septum, thalamus, nucleus accumbens, and amygdala (Arias et al, 2014; Czajkowski et al, 2014; Jankowski et al, 2013; Rinaldi et al, 2012), and several other areas which have been shown to be vulnerable to BPA effects (Cao et al, 2014; Cao et al, 2013; Facciolo et al, 2002; Sadowski et al, 2014b). The behavioral disruptions may also originate from sex-dependent epigenetic changes in the brain (Jasarevic et al, 2012; Kundakovic et al, 2013; Yaoi et al, 2008).…”
